Alphabetical Order
By Michael Frayn
Starring Imogen Stubbs, Penelope Beaumont, Ian Talbot and Gawn Grainger
A provincial newspaper office in the 1970s – and another day of chaos in the cuttings library…files all over the floor, phones left ringing, cabinets overflowing. And, when they finally arrive, the lives of the journalists are as messy as everything else. Into this bedlam steps Lesley, who has a passion for organisation. When the paper is threatened with closure a battle between order and pandemonium ensues!
As a journalist of great distinction for both the Guardian and the Observer, Michael Frayn knew the Fleet Street world from the inside. His multi award-winning plays include Clouds, Donkeys’ Years, Make and Break, Noises Off, Benefactors, Copenhagen, Democracy and Afterlife.
